[QUOTE="hoser, post: 146962, member: 6357"] Where's the buyer beware for employees? Can the employee prove that it was the stick shift that caused carpral? If this is such a dire issue, why have I never heard of this from other employees or other centres? Hell, the liberal media isn't giving this a glance. Can you prove that you followed UPS' advice EVERY day, by following habits and taking 5-10 minutes to stretch and flex? Did you report issues as they occured? UPS has a business to run. Simply because employees power steering and autos in a 97 contract doesn't mean UPS should scrap all of their vehicles and go auto (especially considering that unlike FedEx, UPS does NOT sell their vehicles to private individuals once they're out of the fleet). Have they've introduced any vehicles since 1998 that were standard? If not, your argument is dead. UPS is rightfully running their vehicles into attrition. Oh, and you can thank the UNION for UPS giving you such old vehicles. Because labour is an employers number one cost, and UPS' labour costs are the largest in the industry, this means they have a significantly lower budget for things like vehicles, nice facilities, dedicated offices for supervisors, etc. FedEx pays their employees less, but they have nice uniforms (and a liberal manner of distributing them) and their power vehicles won't log more than 200 000 miles. Why? Because they can afford money on these kinds of things as it's not being spent on huge labour or healthcare costs. [/QUOTE]
